I've been very busy he last week or two, and couldn't fit in time to write up a preview last night (or this afternoon) for tonight's game, so I'll have to leave you with some sources instead of missing it completely like I did a few times in October.
I'll try for the Panthers game tomorrow night though.
Sorry 'bout that:

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- Although he is not known for his offensive production, defenceman Tomas Kaberle has provided a recent spark for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kaberle hopes to continue his roll tonight when the Maple Leafs go for their third straight victory in the first of four encounters with the Tampa Bay Lightning, live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.
After failing to score a goal in his first 10 games, Kaberle became just the sixth blueliner in franchise history and first since Borje Salming in 1981 to record a hat trick last Saturday against Montreal.

NHL.com - ScoresMaple Leafs-Lightning Preview
Through the first month of the season, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been hampered by inconsistency. The same can be said of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Maple Leafs look to run their first winning streak of the season to three games when they open a three-game road trip against the Lightning on Wednesday.
Darcy Tucker scored two of his team's three power-play goals during an 86-second span of the first period in a 4-2 victory over visiting Atlanta on Monday, giving Toronto back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
"It was not our best and we got away with it," Tucker said after the Leafs were held to a season-low 22 shots. "We battled but we did not play the way we wanted to. We need to be better and to do that we have to skate more."
